The monthly competition created for emcees and producers has wrapped up for the month of February and we need a winner. Take a moment to check out the verses below and leave some feedback in the comments. The winner will be decided Tuesday February 27 @2pm. Who brought the heat this month?

Every month we conduct the contest during the times of 2p-6p. For the first time ever we hosted the Tight 32 in the evening. This change must have brought out a different type of energy as each emcee was excited to hit the booth and knock out their 32 bars. Who showed out? Listen to the 9 emcees and share with your network. Our judges will make the final decision but who do you think will be the people's champion?

For more information on signing up for contest please call 404.874.9880 or email entertight32contest@gmail.com.

Calling all producers! Finally created a program to help the production community receive recognition for their werk. Hosted by audio engineer/producer Brandon Thomas and special guest we present "The Bassline."

We introduced the show to the Patchwerkstudio audience on Instagram explaining the goal of the program. As with all our programming, networking is a must and sharing your talents with like minded individuals is what we push. Never bashing only challenging to be great.

We also informed them on the ways we can assist in getting producers actively werking and involved with the Patchwerk Recording Studio's Beatz program.

The live interaction was great with a few producers that submitting beats such as Low Bambino form Mobile, Alabama. His beats were a little out but melodic, so we were able to help him with the loudness of the crash in the mix. He tuned in and was receptive to the feedback.

Throughout the show we talked about the Hit or Miss segment where producers play beats and we let the viewers decide if it's a Hit Or Miss! If voted a hit the host and guest select the best out of the group to play in its entirety at the end of program. The honor was branded "Bring That Shit Back!" The producer would be allowed to submit a new track for next week show as well. The winner was 1Khendrixx. You can view his soundcloud to hear more of his sound.

Thanks to everyone who tuned in and we are just getting started. We understand how important the producer is to the overall process and want to salute and encourage the next generation to become great. Tune in next Wednesday for a new episode. To be consider for the show send beats to pwrbeatz@gmail.com.

On this week’s episode of Cookies and Lemonade, my guest co-hosts and myself, Porchia Marie, assembled back into the infamous Studio 9000. I was accompanied by Grammy-nominated Patchwerk engineer K. Rich and Patchwerk’s marketing assistant Sam Levine.

Cookies and Lemonade was on fire this week. To my left K. Rich wouldn’t let up on the artists as it took alot to rouse him to the party. Then to my right, the artist’s biggest hater, Sam became the love/hate panelist. But most importantly, we all know… “It’s called Cookies and Lemonade, but sh*t ain’t always sweet!” The artists brought vibes from the north, south, and even the east coast with a variation of Hip-Hop and R&B mixed in with our Tupac inspired rappers.

Cookies and Lemonade is geared to give musicians and artists the chance to hear real time feedback on their music while also giving our Patchwerk & IdOMUSIC audience a chance to discover new music, but remember! It’s called Cookies and Lemonade but it ain't always sweet! Tell a friend to tell a friend to submit music!

This weeks collection of songs included a lot of musically challenged artists, however most couldn’t seem to get the production mixed down properly to keep the audience on go! Amongst our 12 artists, we had Isiah Bin Laden come through with his smash hit single “Do It To Ya.” Isiah came with this hard club banger representing Jackson, Mississippi bringing crazy energy with his delivery.

Moving right along to highlight our D.N.A. (Dope New Artist) of the Week, Childish Major known from his accreditation on J. Cole’s “4 Your Eyez Only” and many more. During the summer of 2017, Childish released his debut as an artist titled “Woo$ah” which has been climbing the charts on various platforms. Be sure to check out his “Woo$ah” on all streaming platforms.

Then of course we had to take a trip to The Lemonade Stand! Every month, we have our Tight 32 Emcee/Producer Contest and we were thrilled to announce Smart Boy as our Tight 32 Producer of the month. Hyping up the fans even more, I announced the debut of our “Producer show” this upcoming Wednesday night at 8P going live on Patchwerkstudio IG. It is very similar to Cookies and Lemonade but it’s just critiquing production. If interested in being reviewed submit to pwrbeatz@gmail.com.

We look forward to you guys tuning in each and every Monday at 8PM EST on Patchwerk Instagram Live and Periscope. If you missed the show, it’s uploaded on YouTube soon after it originally airs. See you guys next week!

Cookies and Lemonade took it to the infamous Studio 9000, the largest and most expensive room at Patchwerk Studios! Porchia Marie brought along up and coming R&B starlet Talea, her producer/engineer J-Rod, and Grammy-award winning Patchwerk engineer Kori Anders! The artists presented a more chill vibe than previous episodes with the ambience of the 9000 room providing more space for the tunes to expand across the dim lighting.

The show kicked off with Lozo Glazin, who featured Fresh on the song “All I Ever Wanted”. The panel made a few critiques after hearing the record, stating that the song needed more beef in the overall production and a better mix. Se7en followed right after with “Scene 8”. The mix on the vocals would’ve definitely enhanced the record over the “monotone” sound, yet the lyrics were praised.

After a briefing on the Super Bowl, former Patchwerk intern AJ Loco presented “Phenomenal” for review. Kori Anders stated the mix wasn’t the best, but the song itself was pretty good. J-Rod commented on the amount of reverb used being too much, and Porchia suggested that whenever an artist records a song, treat it as if it was an ALBUM. A mysterious artist by the name of M had no social media, “Grew up on Six Flags Drive”, and presented “Love Drug” to the panel. The song was well received unanimously, and M’s obscurity intrigued the panel. Kori Anders even added that his use of reverb on the song “made sense”.

The 5th artist of the night, Middle Meezy had a tragic past and his song “Who Told You” which received positive reviews, but according to the panel a better mix would have taken it to another level. JordanL’s “Daddy-O” had similar mixing flaws with other submissions, but his style of rapping and beat choice was positively reviewed. Kijuan X brought something NEW to Cookies and Lemonade, a deeper-than-rap poetry piece laid on top of a chill hip-hop beat “Thinking About You”. Guest hosts Talea and J-Rod were confused by the message of the piece, yet the backing track was praised. Porchia stated that she was “Waiting for the beat to drop.” Talea suggested that the piece would be better received when paired with “Dope visuals.”

Daje served as the first (and only) female artist of the night with “Ca$h.” The way she “rode the beat” grasped the attention of the panel. Talea commented that the song followed current trends very well. Nauti Wave’s “24 Suncrest” served as Daje’s follow up, with the song being Porchia’s favorite along with positive feedback from the panel.

The D.N.A. artist of the week was guest host Talea! In true D.N.A. fashion, everyone in the room praised her featured song “Same City” featuring K Camp! The track serves as the lead single from her Debut EP Made in Gold. Kori Anders even gave J-Rod his props for a great job mixing the song! Heavy Hustla didn’t want to get “Too Involved” with his submission, speaking on not getting in too deep in romantic affairs. This took the number one spot as the favorite track of the night, with unanimous praise down the line.

Bainbridge, GA native Redd Tabb Clyde closed the show with ”Say No More”, a song that was noted for having some of the best bars on the show. Redd Tabb Clyde’s message was also well received, and the only critique mentioned was needing to distinguish the hook a little better from the verse.

This weeks collection of songs included mostly bangers! We look forward to you guys tuning in each and every Monday at 8PM EST on Patchwerk Instagram Live. If you missed the show, it’s uploaded on YouTube soon after it originally airs. See you next week!

Yesterday we completed That Tight Thirty Two On Thurzdayz Emcee and Producer competition to set off the third season! Some emcees delivered bars with ease while others took their time to get it right. We need your help deciding the victor. Think you can do that?

Our producer of the month @Bosagotbeats from South Carolina won our production portion of contest so he witnessed the entire event. Stay tuned for his sit down interview with us next week! The contest was streamed live on @Patchwerkstudio Instagram live page and on Periscope. If you never witnessed the monthly competition make sure to review. Every month we lit!

Starting a new series dedicated to the intricate lines delivered by iconic emcees. The first for this series is with Ras Kass. The owner of Patchwerk Recording Studios, Curtis Daniel III and friend to Ras created the concept. Throughout Ras’ career he has had a lot of people tell him how much they like his lyrics.

He’s had a lot of people tell him that they love what he’s spittin’ but they didn’t care for a particular beat that he chose, or they didn’t like the way a song was mixed or mastered, hell he’s even had people tell him that he raps too fast or uses to many big complicated words .

The new weekly series titled “Line4Line” where he speaks some of his verses & then breaks them down & explains to you what & why he said what he said.

New episodes will drop every Wednesday at 1pm (E.S.T) here and on both Patchwerk’s & Ras’ social media pages.

When all else fails just remember the music keeps on playing! Thus the case with our latest episode of Cookies and Lemonade featuring new host Porchia Marie. Every week we will review a number of submissions sent in by you the consumers and artist of new singles seeking feedback.

This week guest included artist Qunify, Dolla, Poppy Khan, Playabran, Pinestreet Solo, Louney G, RayOTS and Drew Smith. A wide range of artistry and provided interesting conversation in our Patchwerkstudio IG live chat. You can check out the singles from the above artist who have released on Soundcloud. Keep in mind that is why we ask for those particular links. Get on to our weekly playlist to increase promo!

It's time again to serve a nice tray of cookies and lemonade to the artist and musicians brave enough to submit their singles for feedback. We kicked off the 2018 year with our online music review guest starring Head of Production Corey G(@coragee411), Patchwerk Engineer Mac(@mbm_engineering) and myself. We warmed up the seat for our new host you'll meet next Monday! The show as of now will only be held on Monday nights at 8pm. Tune into our Periscope stream where we you can witness the behind the scenes of our programming. Periscope Stream Review

The collection of songs displayed vary from solid hit to solid brick. You will be able to find our soundcloud playlist below to review the singles. Keep in mind this is why we ask for soundcloud links so can participate in the exposure. Failure to do so results in potentially having a fire song nobody will remember. Our Freshest Song of the Night goes to Treja who has graced out #idmshowcase a few times in the past. His consistency is to be applauded. The track title for his record 'Issa Hit' was a banga.

The show can be summarized by Coragee's explanation of one of the reviewed tracks of the night. "It just needs Butter & Salt." As you can see our programming is 100% real. Scripts are cool but we let the music take us to the landing destination. Hope you all will take a trip this year with us. I do encourage you to share the program with others who are seeking outside feedback. There is a possibility of launching a new program tailored for producers. We will review beats and give feedback to broadcast on our IdOMUSICTV programming. Stay tuned for more info as we develop it.

Thanks to the added momentum of artist such as Stormzy, Skepta, Wiley and more the genre known as Grime is now officially it's own category on streaming giant Spotify. Mainstream was inevitable with major releases and achievements pushing the conversation forward.
